Performance

The new Jeep Compass lineup only offers one engine option, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 200-horsepower and 221 pounds-feet of torque. The Subaru Outback lineup is split into two groups based on engine options, with the Wilderness, Onyx Edition XT, Limited XT, and Touring XT models using an athletic 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Boxer engine that produces 260-horsepower and 277 pounds-feet of torque, making any outing to Buckhannon more exciting and engaging.

Both the Subaru Outback and Jeep Compass models are known for the ability to travel off-road, with both models offering standard all-wheel drive. However, the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system actively sends power to all four wheels and will automatically divert power to the wheels with the most traction if any should slip, giving you the best possible handling and control on any surface. The Jeep Compass lineup uses standard on-demand all-wheel drive that activates when it needs to, with an available full-time four-wheel drive system available on higher trim levels for a higher price.

Interior

The Subaru Outback is a larger vehicle than the Jeep Compass is. All the new Outback models have 109 cubic feet of passenger space to accommodate your family or friends with space to stretch out and enjoy the ride. The Jeep Compass has 100 cubic feet of passenger volume, which could leave some passengers cramped.

You can also fit much more of your things in a new Subaru Outback model, with 32.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats in all Outback models. The Jeep Compass has 27.2 cubic feet of standard cargo space.

Technology and Safety Features

The Jeep Compass offers a 10.1-inch touchscreen display in every model for its infotainment system, while the Subaru Outback has a vertical 11.6-inch touchscreen in all models but the Base.

Both the Outback and Compass have a standard suite of driver assistance features, but only the Outback has steering responsive LED headlights that will turn with the direction of the wheel to help you see better around curves and corners.
